Letter from the Cuban Gulag (Smuggled letter from Cuba's Leading Dissident/Prisoner) el Nuevo Herald ^ \| Thu, Aug. 24, 2006 \| Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet miami.com The people of Cuba have been suffering the contempt of a totalitarian tyranny, of Communism, for more than four decades. Due to this cruel treatment where the honor of the people is violated, many of us are indignant and rising up in prayer and fasting to plead to the God of the Bible, and demanding from our government the signatures from the international human rights pacts (the international pact of civil and political rights as well as the one regarding economic, social and cultural rights) signed and sealed by the international community at the United Nations. As we have so well expressed, these demands are directed to the government of Cuba, regardless of who's in charge, because as they said in Boston: "Tyranny is tyranny, let it come from whom it may". For that reason we must continue our journey of prayer and fasting until obtaining the requested signature, and until the fulfillment and respect of human rights for all Cubans is put immediately into practice. We must expedite the achievement of these basic rights through civil disobedience, and by putting into practice all methods to obtain our humanitarian aim. "If there is no struggle there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will" (Frederick Douglass). We have the right to be free and to use our individual sovereignty as a people, and "only freedom brings with it peace and wealth" (Jose Martí). Here, in this dark gate where I am forced to live, I will continue to resist until obtaining the freedom of my people.
